How are you liking the new box??

The Superline is brilliant IMHO - this is one of the biggest upgrades I have done and my LP12 is now singing. Next a Radikal to replace the Hercules. Got to say though that the Hercules must be the best value for money piece of hi-fi there is as it does an outstanding job.

Now some new 180g - side one before the Spurs on the box

Superb album.

quote:
Mavis Staple's 2007 album, WE'LL NEVER TURN BACK is a stunning achievement from one of soul and gospel's most revered singers. Produced by Ry Cooder, the album is built around freedom songs of the civil rights movement--some are traditional ("Eyes on the Prize"), some are appropriated for the theme("99 and 1/2"), while others are originals ("I'll Be Rested"). As much a celebration of hard-won freedom as a reminder of past and current injustices, the album features stirring gospel choir vocals from both Ladysmith Black Mombazo and original members of the SNCC Freedom Singers. Yet the album isfirst and foremost a platform for Mavis Staples's stirring voice, one that is as much a liberating force as any protest. Cooder, to his credit, keeps things appropriately raw and immediate, and the band always positions Staples at the front of the line. As deeply moving as any album made in 2007, WE'LL NEVER TURN BACK is at once a call to arms, a new cadence for a new march, and the celebratory soundtrack for the jubilee on the other side of the mountain.

I am so disappointed with this Jedwood/Jennifer Mayer release. Just played the CD (which came with the vinyl) and my flabber was ghasted. How could a talented artist like JM could produce this pap The vinyl will never be played by me, in the hope that someone would offer me a supply of bitter lemons in exchange.

I got that along with "Where The Light Is" and after the first 2 tracks of "Battle Studies" my thought was: "That Jennifer really F*cked him up!". I couldn't finish all the tracks and went on to the Live-CD: to me(!) it surpassed BS (and we know what that is!) on all fronts and it even made me like some songs I skipped halfway before hearing this! So if "Where The Light Is" is not part of your collection yet, maybe you should check that out; he deserves credit
